  • Develop and optimize data storage layers leveraging Postgres and Redis.
  • Implement software interfaces and data pipelines for sensors including LiDAR, cameras, and IMUs.
  • Collaborate with frontend teams working with React or Vue to build UI integrations and operator tools.
  • Implement and maintain CI/CD workflows using Kubernetes, Docker, KVM, and GitHub Actions.
  • Analyze system logs, telemetry, and field data to identify bugs, performance bottlenecks, and reliability issues.
  • Participate in code reviews, architectural discussions, and software documentation.
Benefits
  • Competitive base salary.
  • Performance-based incentive bonus plan.
  • Commuter allowance.
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance coverage.
  • 401(k) retirement plan with company matching contributions up to a specified percentage.

  • Strong programming experience in Python and JavaScript.
  • Experience building backend systems using FastAPI and NodeJS.
  • Experience with frontend frameworks such as React or Vue.
  • Hands-on experience with Postgres, Redis, and distributed messaging systems (MQTT, Kafka).
  • Strong understanding of algorithms, data structures, and real-time/async programming.
  • Experience with ROS/ROS2 and real-time robotics software systems.
Preferred:
  • Experience deploying software using Kubernetes, Docker, and KVM.
  • Familiarity with GitHub Actions for CI/CD automation.
  • Experience integrating AI/ML models into production robotic workflows.
  • Background in cloud robotics, distributed systems, or simulation environments (Gazebo, Isaac Sim).
